DENHAM SPRINGS, La (NBC33) — 'Infant See' is a free program designed by optometrists to give babies a boost on their eye health.
Suzanne Mitchelle credits the program with saving her son's sight. Optometrist Cynthia Baker found cataracts were blocking Emory's vision during his free 'Infant See' exam.
Emory had surgery to remove the cataracts and now wears contacts. Suzanne says she could see a change in him right away.
"The first time we put his contacts in, he studied the zipper on my jacket and the stubble on his dad's face," she said. "That's not something we ever thought for him to be looking at, and now he's just a normal two year old"
